Men Don't Tell

Australian actress Emily Symons is finally set to become a first-time mother after undergoing years of gruelling in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments. The Home And Away star is due to give birth around the time of her 46th birthday in August (15), and Symons admits she previously gave up hope of ever becoming a mother after several failed rounds of IVF.
She tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper, "I very much thought it couldn't happen and I was too old... I'd given up really, I thought I had tried every avenue that was available to us... Obviously at my age, you have to wait a long time ­before you can tell anyone, so I've known for a while, but I haven't been able to share... I spent a lot of my 30s being so anguished about not having a baby... There's a longing and a biological need to have a baby that I don't think men have."
The baby will be her first with partner Paul Jackson, who has three children from a previous relationship.

If you're a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and/or badass women, then Peggy Carter is a breath of fresh air.

In Captain America: The First Avenger, she might have been Steve Rodgers' (Captain America) love interest, but she was never overly sexualized and she proved she could hold her own with all the boys. Which is something huge, considering this took place in the 1940's. Agent Carter picks up where the first Captain America left off, with Peggy working for the "phone company" A.K.A. the SSR. She's not exactly taken seriously by all of her male co-workers, but if you've watched the show, you know she's proven that women do it better.
1. The men she encounters mistakenly underestimate her:

2. But she can easily overpower them:

3. She can beat anyone up, with only a stapler as her weapon:

4. While all her male co-workers went for an unnecessary chase, she just needed a briefcase to finish the job:

Praise the Lord, #TGIT is back! To prepare, we spoke with Scandal's Tony Goldwyn, A.K.A. President Fitzgerald Grant, about what it's like portraying the President of the United States of America, where Fitz is at emotionally after the loss of his son, and of course, we discussed Olivia Pope.
We’re curious, do people have a hard time differentiating you as an actor because you play such an huge figure on TV as President Grant? Have fans ever called you the President?
I’m not sure if it has to do with being the President. I guess I do get a certain type of respect that I wouldn’t get if it was just me. People seem to get a real kick out of that. People tend to call me “The President” a lot.
What do you have to do to get into the mentality of such as powerful character?
Now it’s pretty natural because I’ve been doing it for a while. But in the first and second season, the thing I had to remind myself all the time, the degree of pressure the president is always under, every single second of every single day, there is so much stress, and so much weighing on every single moment. You have to have a sort of grace under that pressure. That kind of informs everything and to find grace under that pressure and a way of being cool in the face of that. The stakes were always really high and once I internalized that, it was extremely helpful.
Where would you say Fitz is at emotionally/mentally over the loss of his oldest son Jerry?
Oh god, the loss of his son Jerry almost killed him. Then there was the loss of Olivia that happened at the end of last season. But then Olivia returned and even though they’re not together, she’s back in his life in a way. But there’s hope, as he discovered. But the death of Jerry focused Fitz in a way that he’s determined. When he then lost Olivia, he was lost and utterly destroyed inside, but he was determined to be as effective a president as he can be. Now Olivia’s back and, as of the last episode in the mid-season finale, which I directed, Olivia’s been kidnapped. Fitz is being blackmailed now, that if he doesn’t go into this war in West Angola, that she will be killed and he’ll never see her again. Now Fitz has a terrible problem, because that completely undermines everything he intended to do in the wake of his son’s death to honor that memory and his job. But also the loss of Olivia is something that he can’t tolerate because he’s so desperately in love with her and so dependent on her.
How far do you think he would go to save Olivia?
I don’t know. We’ll have to see where everything goes, I can’t give any spoilers. But it’s sort of an existential crisis for Fitz. He has a responsibility to his job, the country, and everything he sees himself being about. But at the same time Olivia means more to him than anything in the world. It’s just an impossible quantity of situations.
Can you explain what it’s like to portray that relationship? What Olivia and Fitz have is nothing like anything else on TV.
You know what it is, these two people connect on a very, very deep level – emotionally, sexually, intellectually – everything. And at the same time, it’s an impossible relationship. The circumstances of their lives make it impossible. They keep making it more impossible. But it’s one of those relationships, that no matter what happens, once they’re in proximity of each other, all bets are off. They can’t deny the connection that they have. They can be enraged with each other, whatever their opinions are of what they should think; it just evaporates when they’re in each other’s presence. It’s an undeniable baseline reality of who they are to each other. It’s a very extreme kind of thing that happens.
Do you think there is something very specific about that relationship that has so many fans rooting for them, despite the fact that Fitz is married?
Well look, Fitz and Olivia it’s not just any infidelity. The truth is, yes they had an affair but you know Fitz has been in a very dysfunctional marriage and has stood up forthrightly and asked his wife for a divorce. He told Olivia he was leaving his wife. He said to Olivia 2 years ago, “I’m done, I’m choosing you.” He’s not some man who just wont leave his wife. He’s tried everything to be with the woman he loves, and Olivia, in collusion with Mellie, has blocked it. She’s forced him to wait. I know people have an issue with the infidelity but it’s not like his wife doesn’t know and he hasn’t been honest about it. And for that, I have no moral judgment about that as far as Fitz, he’s not trying to have his cake and eat it too. He’s transgressed and sinned, but so has Mellie and so has Olivia, they’re all human.

What’s different about Olivia’s relationship with Jake versus Fitz?
I think that Jake and Olivia’s relationship is one thing, but Fitz and Olivia, I believe separate from these insane circumstances of him being the President and all the pressures that come to bear and all of Olivia’s fears about intimacy and giving herself over to someone. I think Fitz believes and I believe, in his advocacy, that if she would do what he said, they would be able to begin something substantial and powerful. They could have a family together. Hell, they’re not going to move to Vermont and he’s not going to be the mayor, that’s a fantasy but they could, as a couple, build a life together and it would be so much more powerful than they are separate. They could have a very ideal relationship, I believe. I think her relationship with Jake is something different. It’s an escape for all that. Maybe they would have a successful relationship. I do believe Olivia loves both men. But I also think that she and Fitz have a very deep connection on so many levels, professionally, and in so many ways. I think there is more heft to it.. Then there is their chemistry, while she and Jake have good chemistry, Fitz and Olivia have a chemistry that is so beyond a sexual connection, it’s that plus so much else.
Do you think that’s what fans really see? When Fitz and Olivia are in a room together, it’s very obvious their feelings and emotions for each other.
It’s super charged. They see each other and know each other in a deep, almost historic way. That was Fitz’s big point in the past, “you know me,” they connect and see the best of each other. They see the true person. I think Jake and Olivia, in a relationship, would be creating a whole new thing. They’d be leaving their life and running away and it would be a whole big thing. Maybe they can start all over and Jake can leave behind his life and start with Olivia. I think with Fitz and Olivia, they could work, if they make their way through his gauntlet. They’ve always known where they’ve been. We don’t know Jake’s past. He’s a mystery figure. He’s been a soldier his whole life. And then a B613 operative.
Switching to Fitz’s other relationship, can you tell us if you think things between Fitz and Mellie will ever recover, not the marriage but just as Fitz and Mellie, after all that’s happened, Jerry’s death on top of it all?
I think it goes back and forth with Mellie. I don’t see Mellie and Fitz recovering their romantic relationship, ever. But at the same time, as much as Fitz was disgusted and offended and to his core just cut Mellie off, when she sort of betrayed him, he still understands Mellie. He knows that’s not who Mellie really is. That’s not who the true Mellie is. That’s the desperate, damaged, wounded Mellie. He’s got the love-hate relationship with Mellie. He has real contempt for what Mellie stands for, but he has intense guilt over his neglect of Mellie. His father raped his wife and he’s got all this guilt. He’s got this complicated thing. But at the same time he respects and loves and admires Mellie for all of her best qualities and he’s also not willing to give up on that. Like so many marriages, it keeps flipping from one to the other, but they have a partnership there. They have a mutual kind of respect in some way. They both know each other’s attributes as each other’s failings.
You directed that crazy mid-season finale. Can we look forward to you directing any more episodes in this season?
No sadly, I don’t have any more for this season.
What was it like directing yourself and then your co-workers, given you’ve been working with them so much and you’re so invested in this storyline?
It’s such an experience to work from inside of it. It’s also a great privilege to be able to work with all these great actors in a different way than when I am acting with them. It’s exciting for all of us. I get to work with people I don’t usually have scenes with, like Guillermo (Huck) and Katie (Quinn), who I don’t ever act with much on screen if at all. It’s wonderful. It’s a great experience.
So, can you give us an unbiased response on whether you’re Team Jake or Team Fitz?
I endorse God fully, but I have to admit that I’m Team Fitz. I say that with full appreciation of the Jake-Olivia relationship. But I think for me, that’s a fantasy relationship, at least now, its not grounded in anything real, it’s an erotically charged escape relationship for both of those people. I think Fitz and Olivia is a relationship based on two people who could be the answer for each other, they may never find their way there, but it’s very real and the facts are established in reality.
Scandal returns to ABC Thursday, January 29th at 9 P.M.

Hardman actor Danny Dyer broke down in tears watching Miley Cyrus' weepie romance drama The Last Song.
The actor is renowned in his native U.K. for playing tough-guy roles including gangsters, soccer hooligans, and drug dealers, and he is currently enjoying a run in hit soap opera EastEnders as the landlord of a London bar. However, his teenage daughter Dani has now shattered her father's intimidating image and revealed he is a secret softie who cries at soppy movies and wears a pink bath robe at home.
Dani Dyer, a budding actress who has enjoyed several film roles, tells The Sunday Times Magazine, "People have this image of my dad, and they've got it so wrong. He plays gangsters and hard men, but he's a complete pussycat. He's so sensitive, you wouldn't believe it... If I ever start crying, he gets totally choked up.
"There was one time he started crying over the Miley Cyrus movie. He was begging me not to tell anyone about that. Sorry, Dad... He likes to play the alpha male, but he's a sensitive, caring family man who don't (sic) mind walking about the house in a pink dressing gown."

Ac/Dc drummer Phil Rudd is determined to clear his name and return to the band after his upcoming court case. The rocker hit headlines last month (Nov14) when he was charged with attempting to have two as-yet-unidentified men killed. The murder plot accusation was later dropped by authorities in New Zealand, but he still faces charges of drug possession and threatening to kill.
Rudd, 60, has pleaded not guilty and the case is expected to go to trial in the new year (15), prompting the band to hire a new drummer for their upcoming world tour, but the musician is adamant he wants to return to AC/DC after resolving his legal troubles.
He tells New Zealand TV channel TVNZ, "I want my job back and I want my reputation back and I'm going to get them... It's all wrong and I'm very upset about the whole thing. It's ludicrous, ludicrous - as if I'd need anybody to do that... This has just been a big ball of cheese and all the rats are gathering and having a piece.
"That's not who I am... I'm going back to work with AC/DC, I don't care who likes it or who doesn't. Everyone listens to the wrong people, they should listen to me, I'm a good guy, and I'm a pretty good drummer by the way - ask Angus (Young), he'll tell you."

Actor Geoffrey Rush is delighted the next installment in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise will be shot in his native Australia as it means he only has a two-hour commute to work. The screen star has played Barbossa in the first four movies of the swashbuckling series, but each stint of filming meant a mammoth flight to Los Angeles.
Producers are due to start shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales on Australia's Gold Coast in February (15), and Rush is one cast member who is more than happy with the location Down Under.
He tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "Now that is where I think I just got really personally lucky. It used to take me 36 hours to go to work on the first couple and now it is a two-hour flight up to the Gold Coast. Is somebody looking after me? I don't know. It is going to be great."

The Roots drummer Questlove has challenged fellow musicians to write protest songs in response to recent U.S. grand jury decisions to clear cops over the deaths of two men. Last month (Nov14) it was ruled police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted after gunning down teenage thief Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in August (14).
On Wednesday (03Dec14), a grand jury reached a similar conclusion over the case of Eric Garner, who died in July (14) after he was placed in what appeared to be a 'chokehold' by New York officer Daniel Pantaleo as he was arrested for illegally selling cigarettes.
Following the latest ruling, thousands of protesters took to the streets of New York, and many celebrities have echoed their sentiments on social media.
Among them was musician Questlove, who took to Instagram.com to point out contemporary music's lack of political activism.
He wrote, "I urge and challenge musicians and artists alike to push themselves to be a voice of the times that we live in. I'm kinda/sorta addressing the hip hop nation I really apply this challenge to ALL artists. We need new (Bob) Dylans. New Public Enemys. New (Nina) Simones. New (Zack) De La Roachas. New ideas!
"I'm not saying every song gotta be 'Fight The Power' but in times like these we need to be more community minded... I mean real stories. Real narratives. Songs with spirit in them. Songs with solutions. Songs with questions. Protest songs don't have to be boring or non danceable or ready made for the next Olympics. They just have to speak truth...
"My soul is aching man. Seriously just one or two songs that change the course. This is something I feel the need and urgency to put out there."
Stevie Wonder has also spoken out about the controversies, taking time out during a gig in Seattle, Washington on Wednesday to tell the audience, "Can you believe that within one month, two grand juries - secret grand juries - declined to indict two policemen for the killing of two black men? I just don't understand that... I do understand that something is wrong, real wrong. And we as family, Americans, all of us, of all colours, need to fix it with a quickness real soon."

Lmfao star Redfoo has fallen victim to hackers who changed his Wikipedia page to accuse him of promoting "rape culture" in his new song. The Sexy and I Know It hitmaker faced scrutiny following the release of his new track Literally, I Can't, which features lyrics suggesting men should tell women to "shut the f**k up" if they reject their advances.
Redfoo issued an apology and insisted the lyrics have been misinterpreted, but he faced an online petition calling for him to be sacked from his job on Australia's The X Factor, and he has now expressed his outrage after his Wikipedia page was hacked.
The hackers changed his biography to read, "Redfoo... has instead spent the last few years defecating out kitschy, tacky music, set to catchy beats in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Redfoo's latest single is Literally, I can't, a track in which he gleefully exacerbates rape culture... Redfoo is close to 40 years old but acts like an entitled, irritating child."
In an appearance on Australian radio station KIIS 1065's The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday morning (14Nov14), Redfoo says, "I've been under fire... The women have gone crazy on me... I don't know how Redfoo and 'rape culture' got into the same headline... It went out of control and it spiralled... The darts were thrown at me. We were just trying to make a fun song...
"You don't know who did it (hacked the Wikipedia page)... there's a screenshot of the username of who I think last changed it... Someone went in there and hacked it, and I didn't even see that until this morning... I think a couple of people have hacked it because that's the issue with Wikipedia is anybody can go in and change it."

Lmfao star Redfoo has brushed off sexism allegations after his new single was labelled "the most offensive song of 2014".
The Sexy and I Know It hitmaker has come under fire following the release of his track Literally, I Can't, which features lyrics suggesting men should tell women to "shut the f**k up" if they rebuff their advances.
A number of media outlets in Australia, where Redfoo is a judge on the country's version of The X Factor, have labelled the track "the most offensive song of 2014" and editors of entertainment website Thefix.ninemsn.com have issued a blanket ban on coverage of the star. However, Redfoo is adamant the song is not derogatory towards women.
In a series of posts on Twitter.com, he writes, "Another example of critics victimizing an artist by purposely misinterpreting his/her work to support a pre-existing agenda. #LiterallyICant... Fact #1: The word 's**t' never appears in the lyrics of #LiterallyICant... GetYourFactsStraight. NoGreyArea (sic)... Fact #2: I love &amp; respect women and feel they are the most powerful people on this planet!... Fact #3:(My collaborators) &amp; I made a comical party song to satirise the cliche... Some get it, some don't."
